“Pearls are always appropriate” – Jackie Kennedy
Pearls are, indeed always appropriate because they are timeless and classic; the very essence of style. Pearls have been a treasured gem for centuries from ancient Egypt’s Cleopatra to Rome, and up until today. They are held in high demand and associated with beauty and style, worn by style icons from Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel and Jackie Kennedy to Sarah Jessica Parker.
I have always loved pearls. They add class and style to just about any outfit. I firmly believe every woman deserves to wear pearls and they should have a strand in their closet. I have a few strands that I own and almost a year ago I thought I had lost one of the strands. I found it later hidden on top of my jewelry organizer. It was out of my sight because I was too short to be able to see it!
Most people think pearls are for a special occasion, yes, they are very appropriate for weddings. You can also add pearls to any outfit but just don’t over crowd them with other pieces because pearls do the work all by themselves. This 16” strand of pearl necklace is a great example of how it can make a simple blush dress look wedding venue appropriate.
If you are looking to add a jewelry staple to your closet then take a look at Laguna Pearl’s complete pearl collection and you won’t be disappointed. Here’s a little information about why they started this business. Laguna Pearl was created as a result of the public demand for high-quality pearl jewelry at competitive pricing. With their roots as a wholesale pearl jewelry operation, their organization has strived to cut out the middle man and sell directly to the retail jewelry consumer. They have built their online business by passing on the savings directly to consumers like us. They also have the ability to customize any product on their website.
My 16” strand of white Akoya pearl necklace (AA+ quality) from Laguna Pearl was customized to fit my style choice and I absolutely LOVE it! They indeed will be appropriate for an upcoming wedding venue in a few weeks.

Thank you for stopping by, Debonita!
You look beautiful. That dress is gorgeous! I can see why it keeps selling out. Visiting from Over 50 feeling 40.
Thank you, Amy!
Lovely outfit…so chic! Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog HOp!
Thank you, Pam!
What a beautiful dress! And I agree, pearls are always just right. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, xo
Thank you, Patti!
Besides the obvious that you look fabulous in your choices for this very pretty outfit, this is really an interesting outfit, as well. Each piece, designed just a little differently, could have gone horribly wrong … but all your choices are modern, clean-lined and understated versions of what might have been too sweet, too fussy and matronly. Pitch perfect ladylike for summer, with a side serving of cool-girl. Pretty adorable, Janise, as always.
Thank you, Jan!
